The Astronomical Society in Jeddah confirmed that during the current month of September, the summer season ends in the northern hemisphere and the night begins early, especially at a later time in the month, coinciding with the return of the planets Jupiter and Saturn to the evening sky, and the nights will be shorter for residents of the southern hemisphere. The floor gets warmer with the end of winter. The head of the Astronomical Society in Jeddah, Eng. Majed Abu Zahra, indicated that the fall season begins in the northern half or spring in the southern half on September 22 or 23, depending on where you live on the planet, as the northern and southern hemispheres will witness approximately equal amounts of light. Day and night on that day, after that until December 21, the arc of the Sun’s daily apparent path across the sky in the northern hemisphere will gradually decrease as daylight hours shorten, meanwhile the Sun’s daily journey across the sky will become higher and higher in the southern hemisphere as daylight hours increase. He added that the moon will reach the full moon on September 29 and it will be the harvest moon because it occurs within ten days of the autumnal equinox, and the summer stellar asteroids in the northern hemisphere are still seen in the early evening sky, in addition to that the planet Saturn is monitored with its medium brightness, as it is seen on the southeastern horizon. It is just after evening twilight and will be easy to identify because it is the brightest star-like celestial body.
